BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a fully user-centric mobile relation management of business networking, personal networking and social networking for mobile terminal device with services adaptively and intelligently optimized by converged wireless connections based on open wireless architecture (OWA) mobile cloud infrastructure. By introducing QoW (Quality of Wireless connection) through OWA Operating System (OS), Mobile Relation Manager can ensure optimally secured business networking and personal networking for mobile users with mobile devices which are truly user-centric instead of carrier-centric.

2. Description of the Related Art

On-line social networking is booming up across the global from wireline networks to wireless networks with various services from text message to web pages (including photo, images, text, file, short video) to videos (non-short video).

Conventional social networking is limited to the desktop or laptop through wireline networks. As mobile device gets more and more popular, mobile users have become the driving forces for on-line social networking business.

However, when evolving from wireline networks to wireless mobile networks, lots of technical issues emerge to the performance of the social networking platform. These critical technical issues include:

-   -   1. Wireline's transmission bandwidth is basically unlimited in         some extend, but wireless bandwidth is both very expensive and         technically very limited;     -   2. Wireline's social networking services are unlimited from text         message to web to video because no limitation in bandwidth, but         wireless services are fully limited and impossible to have full         services anytime and in any environment;     -   3. Mobile terminal is in fast fading propagation environment and         wireless mobile bandwidth is unstable when users move to         different areas which cause the service quality changing         frequently. Therefore, mobile services are very much depending         on the underlying wireless connections in different service         areas and different wireless transmission technologies;     -   4. Wireless connections are much unsecured in general compared         to wireline networks, and some social networking information         such as personal and business information is very critical for         the users, hence extra efforts must be taken to ensure security         measures for mobile users' services in the mobile relation         networking business.

Therefore, the mobile social or relation networking platform must provide the following technical solutions to ensure optimal performance for mobile users:

-   -   1. The bandwidth of wireless connections must be optimized to         ensure the quality of services for the mobile terminal device;     -   2. The wireless connections must be optimized among different         multiple wireless transmission technologies while securing the         seamless mobility features for mobile users at the same time;     -   3. The optimized wireless connections must be cost-effective for         the mobile users which is truly user-centric instead of         carrier-centric;     -   4. The mobile relation networking services must be optimized and         scheduled by the underlying wireless connections for the mobile         devices of mobile users;     -   5. The mobile relation networking services must be classified         into secured business relation networking (hereby called         business networking), secured personal relation networking         (hereby called personal networking) and unsecured general social         networking (hereby called social networking) in the wireless         mobile domains because of unstable wireless propagation modeling         of radio transmission;     -   6. The classified relation networking optimization platform must         adapt to the commercial social networking platforms such as         Facebook, Google, etc with open networking API (application         program interface).

All of the current and conventional social networking platforms including Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Myspace, Youtube, Twitter, etc are not optimized for mobile devices of mobile users because of the aforementioned reasons and problems. The conventional social networking is developed for the wireline networking users instead of the mobile wireless users. Furthermore, the conventional social networking does not optimize the networking services based on the networking bandwidth because the wireline networking has no much limitation in networking bandwidth and the networking environment is very stable in the wireline networking. Therefore, the conventional social networking for wireline users, such as Facebook, can support full services (video, web, message, etc) all the time in the form of user posted message, video, photo, images, file, webpages, etc, and commercial advertisements (images, photos, video, files, etc). However in wireless mobile networking, the mobile terminal devices of mobile users are in frequent radio fading environment with seamless mobility, the wireless transmission bandwidth is therefore not guaranteed and subject to frequent change which leads to the unstable features of the social and relation networking services of the mobile users.

Though the conventional social networking platforms, such as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc, can support mobile devices of mobile users, both the connection and service efficiencies are very low, and the performance is very poor. Furthermore, these conventional social networking platforms do not have secured networking measures for the mobile devices, and so mobile users' social networking information has been widely leaked to and accessed by unauthorized third-parties throughout the wireless social networking platforms (especially the unsecured link between the mobile device and the social networking server). This is definitely not acceptable for some important and confidential business and personal networking information in the mobile relation networking.

The https (secured Hypertext Transfer Protocol) protocol only provides security method in the higher application layer without ensuring the secured transmission in the lower layers including service layer, network layer, MAC (medium access control) layer and physical layer. For mobile wireless transmissions, the most security threats are from the low layers instead of the application layer. Hence, conventional social networking platforms (Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Apple App Store, etc) do not have such security measures in the mobile wireless transmissions, especially for the future converged multiple air interfaces environment.

As more and more mobile users utilize social networking services in mobile terminal devices, the aforementioned issues have emerged to be the critical problems in the industry, business, community as well as society. In addition, social networking security becomes one of the major concerns of cyberspace security warned by the federal government of United States, especially for business networking and personal networking.

In mobile wireless communications, the purely application-layer encryption (such as web browser's encryption or HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) encryption) is not enough to protect the security between the communication end points. Security measures must be taken in cooperation with the underlying wireless connection layers. Therefore, multi-layers' security solution comprising access/connection layer, service layer and application layer is required for the mobile relation networking platform.

Therefore, the performance and security of mobile relation networking platform is mostly limited by and dependent upon the underlying wireless connections and transmissions. Hence, open wireless architecture (OWA) mobile cloud infrastructure is the core technology to construct this classified relation networking optimization platform for mobile relation networking users.

Let's introduce the OWA mobile cloud technology first.

Wireless communications comprises a wide range of technologies, services and applications that have come into existence to meet the particular needs of different market sectors and user environments. Different systems can be broadly characterized by:

-   -   content and services offered;     -   frequency bands of operation;     -   standards defining the systems;     -   data rates supported;     -   bidirectional and unidirectional delivery mechanisms;     -   degree of mobility;     -   regulatory requirements; and     -   cost.

The service requirements for telecommunications remain the following characteristics:

-   -   Speech and SMS (Short Message System):     -   This service type requires a peak bit rates up to 16 kbps. In         the year 2010 onwards, there will still remain needs for these         very low data rate applications of speech and simple message         service. In addition to that, some applications in the field of         sensor communication and/or low bit rate data telemetry would         also be expected for the category, as ubiquitous communications.         Most of mobile e-commerce applications would also be categorized         in this type.     -   Multimedia and low rate data:     -   This service type at a data rate of less than 144 kbps should         also be considered, taking into account the compatibility with         3G and 2G data communication applications.     -   Medium multimedia:     -   This type support a peak bit rate of up to 2 Mbps. This type         would be required to sustain the compatibility with the 3G         applications.     -   High multimedia:     -   This type should be considered in order to accommodate high data         rate applications, including multi-media video streaming         services, which are provided with broadband service in fixed         wired communication systems or with broadband wireless access         systems.     -   Super high multimedia:     -   This type should also be considered in order to accommodate         super high data rates multi-media applications, which are         currently provided with Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) services in         case of wired communication systems.     -   Currently, these services require different communication         devices with different connection facilities that the users need         frequent switch between various terminals at home, office and in         other environments.

A service usage pattern may be categorized according to an area where users exploit similar services and expect similar quality of service:

-   -   Home     -   Office     -   Public area     -   Wide area

In many countries, wireline Internet access in Home, Office and Public Area becomes very popular and affordable. Meanwhile, WLAN (wireless local area network) access is evolving rapidly in these domains.

Mobile communications have evolved rapidly on the worldwide basis. But when we look back at the wireless mobile communication history, two major issues remain unsolved:

-   -   1. The mobile wireless terminal architecture is too closed.     -   2. The mobile wireless terminal system is too complicated.     -   3. The mobile wireless services are too carrier-centric, not         user-centric.

The wireless transmission theory of our research tells us that no single wireless transmission technology can provide both broadband high-speed radio transmission and seamless fast mobility capability in a mobile fast-fading propagation model environment unless we reduce the mobile network capacity tremendously—referred to as LU's Laws in the industry.

Our research shows that when the transmission bandwidth is enough, the information processing consumes much more resources and energies than the transmission processing.

In order to solve the above two problems in mobile communications, let us analyze the current situations first.

In many countries, wireline Internet access in home, office and public area becomes very popular and affordable. Meanwhile, WLAN (wireless local area network) access is evolving rapidly in these domains.

Second generation (2G) wireless mobile systems were mainly designed for applications such as voice. Third generation (3G) and especially, fourth generation (4G) mobile system will increasingly be designed as combination of different access technologies to complement each other in an optimum way for different service requirements and radio environments in order to provide a common and flexible service platform for different services and applications.

Access to a service or an application may be performed using one system or may be performed using multiple systems simultaneously or alternatively. Specifically, as will be described within the context of the present invention and has not been addressed in the art, such improved technology could include an integrated and converged communication system which will combine the wireless mobile communication, wireline communication, wireless local area network, broadband wireless access system and Internet into one common platform so that the single Mobile Terminal can operate as a home phone, office phone, mobile phone and open terminal with single user number, which is the unique identifier of this integrated mobile communication terminal.

In future, operators may deploy a mix of technologies that could, at various stages in time and subject to market and regulatory considerations, incorporate cellular, WLAN (wireless local area network), WMAN (wireless metropolitan area networks) or called BWA (broadband wireless access), WPAN (wireless personal access network), digital broadcast, satellite and other access systems as discussed by the present invention. This will require the seamless interaction of these systems in order for the user to be able to receive a variety of content via a variety of delivery mechanisms depending upon the particular terminal capabilities, location and user profile.

Different radio access systems will be connected via the open and flexible core networks. In this way, an individual user can be connected via a variety of different access systems to the networks and services he desires. The integration and convergence between these different access systems in terms of horizontal and vertical handover and seamless service provision with service negotiation including mobility, security and service quality management will be a key requirement.

Due to the different application areas, cell ranges and radio environments, the different access systems can be organized in a layered structure similar to hierarchical cell structures in cellular mobile radio systems. The different layers correspond to the:

-   -   Distribution layer: This layer comprises digital broadcast type         systems to distribute the same information to many users         simultaneously through unidirectional links.     -   Cellular layer: The cellular layer may comprise several cell         layers with different cell size and or different access         technologies.     -   Hot spot layer: This layer may be used for very high data rate         applications, very high traffic density and individual links,         e.g. in very dense urban areas, campus areas, conference         centers, and airports.     -   Personal network layer: Personal area networks will support         short range high-speed direct communication between devices         around the users.     -   Fixed (Wired) layer: This layer includes any fixed wireline         access system.

Such an integrated mobile terminal system as provided by the present invention could intelligently converge mobile communications, Internet, wireline communications, wireless LAN, wireless MAN, wireless PAN, etc into an open system platform. Each of these represents a variety of applications, services and delivery mechanisms. These differing information flows are desired by the users to be available regardless of the means and manner of delivery. The most important is, this mobile terminal becomes the All-in-One common personal communicator at both home and office or on-the-move with unified single telephone number.

It is well predicted that 2G (second generation), 3G (third generation in its present state), 4G (fourth generation), 5G (fifth generation), future mobile access and nomadic/local area wireless access elements are considered to be a system as a whole in the future. This converged and integrated communication platform as disclosed by the present invention, rather than separate and single mode of standard, will definitely drive the future telecommunication industry, but with new business model for service providers and operators.

Continuous evolution is foreseen in future mobile terminals, with use of new components, architectures, hardware, software platforms and improved user interfaces together providing increased performance. The key technologies that will enable the future advanced mobile terminals as described in the present invention include:

-   -   Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) supporting multiple standards         efficiently     -   Mobile Cloud technology to simplify the mobile terminal         architecture     -   Migrating the service from the carrier-centric to the         user-centric platform     -   Smart antennas and new space/time coding and decoding techniques     -   High efficiency power amplifiers and filters     -   Improved RF (radio frequency) modules, allowing higher operating         frequencies and improved receiver sensitivity     -   Advances in signal processing, increased processing efficiency     -   Improved battery technology with increased energy density     -   High-performance and low-power signal processing and processor         platform based on OWA     -   Integration and convergence with wired terminal

A unified global standard of mobile communications becomes extremely difficult and almost impossible. An Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) based converged wireless platform will thus become reasonable and feasible in both business and technology, and therefore ITU (international telecommunication union) IMT-Advanced standardization has been targeting this direction in long run.

Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) technology is one optimal solution for the Fourth Generation wireless and mobile communications (4G) and beyond on the worldwide basis. OWA refers to the open broadband wireless platform that can support diverse wireless and mobile standards, and can converge multiple wireless networks. To achieve this flexibility, OWA focuses on all aspects of a communication system including RF (radio frequency), baseband processing, networking and application segments. The flexibility and adaptability required for the converged open wireless platform can be achieved by defining the open interface parameters for the OWA systems and networks.

OWA helps in realizing global roaming facilities and seamless networking capabilities amongst different radio transmission technologies. It allows the network operators and subscribers to use third party solutions or user-defined solutions on their systems and to customize their systems according to their business models. Using OWA we can build systems which support multiple standards, multiple bands, multiple modes and offer diverse services to the customers.

OWA is different from SDR (software defined radio) as OWA basically maps various wireless standards into open interface parameters and maintain the system platform including RF, baseband, networks and applications an open architecture. Hence, in OWA systems, different modules (both hardware and software) can be from different vendors. It is similar to the open computer architecture in personal computer system and open network architecture in packet router system.

However, SDR is primarily a radio in which the preset operating parameters including inter alia frequency range, modulation type, and/or output power limitations can be reset or altered by software in order to support different radio frequency bands and/or standards. Though SDR has been improved a lot to support re-configurability and flexibility, it is a closed architecture in coupling different radios into one broadband transceiver. In other words, SDR consumes much more power and spectrum in exchange of the system flexibility. From the business point of view, SDR is not a cost-effective solution in wireless communications.

Furthermore, SDR uses broadband transceiver to support multiple wireless standards which is very expensive in the commercial environment. However, OWA converges multiple air interfaces in an open system platform to maximize the transmission bandwidth and system performance, but each wireless transmission still uses the narrowband transceiver, therefore maintaining the system in a cost-effective way which is very important for the commercial business.

By using OWA technology, we can converge multiple wireless standards in one open system to support both broadband high-speed radio transmission and seamless fast mobility capability in a mobile fast-fading propagation model environment while maintaining the very high mobile network capacity for the commercial mobile business.

In addition, OWA allows allocating multiple air interfaces into an external card so that the users can simply change wireless standards by updating such air interface card without having to change the mobile terminal device or terminal system.

Now, how to simplify the mobile terminal system?

Our mobile research results tell us when the transmission bandwidth is enough, the information processing consumes much more resources and energies than the transmission processing in the mobile terminal system. If we can reduce the processing burdens in the mobile terminal including baseband signal processing, application processing and networking processing, the overall system resources and power can be tremendously minimized and the system can be simplified.

The aforementioned OWA technology platform has secured enough transmission bandwidth by converging multiple wireless standards in one common platform so that the mobile terminal can be optimized for best-of-effort high-speed transmission.

By employing a computer server or network server with a home IP address as the Virtual Mobile Server, we can configure this server as the mobile cloud serve to handle the processing tasks for the mobile terminal system which becomes the mobile cloud client accordingly.

When the IP (Internet Protocol) connection is available for the mobile terminal based on OWA network access solution, the aforementioned mobile terminal moves its resource-consuming processing tasks to the remote virtual mobile server through IP connection, so that most of the processing tasks in the mobile terminal are done in the virtual mobile server instead.

Based on the above mobile cloud architecture, the mobile terminal system becomes very simple with basic functions of Transceiver, User Interface and Information Display only.

The OWA mobile cloud infrastructure of the present invention is a revolutionary approach in developing the next generation mobile wireless communications based on the OWA technology platform which basically discloses the following several major inventions for the future mobile terminal system:

-   -   1. OWA provides multiple wireless transmissions solution without         relying on the broadband transceiver,     -   2. OWA provides broadband high-speed transmission while securing         seamless mobility capability,     -   3. OWA provides cost-effective and spectrum-efficient mobile         cloud solutions by introducing the Virtual Mobile Server and the         independent Virtual Register and Call Switch (VR/CS) systems,     -   4. OWA shifts the traditional carrier-centric service         architecture to the future user-centric service delivery         infrastructure,     -   5. OWA simplifies the mobile terminal system by moving most of         processing tasks remotely to the mobile cloud server,     -   6. OWA simplifies the mobile networking platform adaptively         scheduled by the underlying OWA mobile cloud infrastructure.

With the aforementioned OWA mobile cloud platform, the optimized (maximize) wireless connections are guaranteed for the mobile relation networking services comprising the secured business networking, the secured personal networking and the unsecured general social networking.

Simplicity is the key driver for future mobile relation networking services which requires the mobile terminal device to be more efficient in both system simplicity and service simplicity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a fully user-centric mobile relation management of business networking, personal networking and social networking for mobile terminal device with services adaptively and intelligently optimized by converged wireless connections based on open wireless architecture (OWA) mobile cloud infrastructure. By introducing QoW (Quality of Wireless connection) through OWA Operating System (OS), Mobile Relation Manager can ensure optimally secured business networking and personal networking for mobile users with mobile devices which are truly user-centric instead of carrier-centric.

In the present invention, the aforementioned business networking refers to secured business relation networking; the aforementioned personal networking refers to secured personal relation networking; and the aforementioned social networking refers to unsecured general social networking.

In the present invention, the networking refers to business relation networking, personal relation networking or general social networking.

The present invention is also directed to a simplified mobile terminal system based on OWA (open wireless architecture) mobile cloud architecture to support the convergence and integration of various wireless standards including existing and future mobile cellular standards, wireless local area network (WLAN) standards, wireless personal area network (WPAN) standards, broadband wireless access (BWA) standards and wireline standards. The mobile cloud architecture comprises the virtual mobile server as the mobile cloud server and the mobile terminal as the mobile cloud client.

The OWA mobile cloud infrastructure, as set forth above, tremendously reduces the processing tasks in the mobile terminal system by moving much processing tasks remotely to the virtual mobile server through IP connection based on OWA network access control.

An architecture of mobile cloud wireless mobile terminal of the present invention has the key functional units as follows:

Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) Interface—this software unit is utilized for the communication of various processing data and controls (including base-band signal processing, application processing and networking processing, but not limited to) between the mobile terminal and the virtual mobile server, as set forth above. Open architecture is very important for next generation communication systems because it allows different modules and subsystems to be provided by various different vendors through the open interface standards. OWA is different from SDR (software defined radio) as OWA basically maps various wireless standards into open interface parameters and maintain the system platform including RF, baseband, networks and applications an open architecture. Hence, in OWA systems, different modules (both hardware and software) can be from different vendors. It is similar to the open computer architecture in personal computer system and open network architecture in packet router system.

However, SDR is primarily a radio in which the preset operating parameters including inter alia frequency range, modulation type, and/or output power limitations can be reset or altered by software in order to support different radio frequency bands and/or standards. Though SDR has been improved a lot to support re-configurability and flexibility, it is a closed architecture in coupling different radios or modules into one broadband transceiver. In other words, SDR consumes much more power and spectrum in exchange of the system flexibility. From the business point of view, SDR is not a cost-effective solution in commercial wireless communications.

The OWA Interface of the present invention optimizes the transmission efficiency between the mobile terminal and the virtual mobile server, as set forth above.

The aforementioned OWA Interface is an open module to maximize the transmission efficiency between the aforementioned mobile terminal and the aforementioned virtual mobile server. The aforementioned OWA Interface can be minimized or reduced if any processing task (signal processing, application processing or networking processing including business, personal and social networking) is not requested or not in use, in order to further increase the transmission efficiency and reduce the transmission overhead.

OWA Software Defined Module (SDM)—this functional module supports multiple wireless standards (air-interfaces) for the mobile terminal of the present invention. The module can be stored in the aforementioned mobile terminal, or in the external card or downloaded from the Internet. The OWA of this invention supports open air interfaces so that users can change different wireless standards, including existing standards or future standards, by updating or replacing this SDM module, as set forth above, wherein this SDM module may further contain independent processors or DSP (Digital Signal Processing) components in addition to memory units to facilitate signal processing and/or protocol processing of related standards, etc.

OWA Core—this functional module provides basic multi-dimensional OWA open baseband processing of multiple wireless standards to ensure the fully operational and efficient capability of OWA digital transceiver working in an open wireless environment. It also schedules the signal processing tasks between the local processing unit and the remote processing unit in the virtual mobile server, as set forth above. Hence, the aforementioned OWA Core comprises OWA Mobile Cloud sub-system and OWA

Virtualization sub-system to construct the OWA OS (operating system) to ensure optimal wireless connection based on Quality-of-Wireless (QoW).

OWA Application Processing Optimizer—this module schedules the basic applications (such as voice, short message, text, but not limited thereto) locally in the mobile terminal or the rich applications (such as video, big file, large data, web, multimedia, but not limited thereto) remotely through the aforementioned virtual mobile server.

Mobile Relation Manager to schedule and manage business networking, personal networking and social networking based on video, web and text transmission with the underlying OWA access layer, and both secured and unsecured networking API (application programming interface) with the application layer.

In the present invention, video, web and text transmissions refer to the wireless service transmissions by wireless over-the-air links. The aforementioned Video refers to very rich service and application consuming very large wireless bandwidth, the aforementioned web refers to medium or basic service and application consuming moderate wireless bandwidth, and the aforementioned text is the very basic service and application for wireless service.

The aforementioned networking services refer to various services from text messages (texts only) to web pages (including photos, images, texts, short files, short videos) to videos (non-short videos).

Radio Frequency (RF)/Intermediate Frequency (IF) Subsystem is a portable radio unit with open interface to the main functional units of the mobile terminal of the present invention. This separate open radio subsystem is necessary to support various wireless standards running in different frequency bands, wherein the user may change this radio part in case of needs. Additionally, this open radio subsystem supports new wireless transceiver technologies, for example, smart antennas, MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output), High efficiency power amplifiers, Improved RF modules allowing multiple operating frequencies and improved receiver sensitivity, etc, but not intended to be limited to such technologies.

Network Interface Unit (NIU) is used to provide wireline network connection and wired communication interface for the mobile terminal of the present invention.

User Interface (INF) unit is used to provide user-machine interfaces including keyboard input, touch-screen input, information recognition input, wireless input, optical input and user information output, etc, but not limited thereto.

Display Unit is to generate the results of signal processing, application processing and networking processing, etc.

Sensor Unit is used to provide interfaces to different sensors of security, health, safety, location, automation and intelligence, etc, but not limited thereto.

Digital transceiver unit includes digital down-converter, digital up-converter, analog-to-digital converter and digital-to-analog converter.

It is well known to the ordinary skills in the art by the time of this invention that, the wireline communication is normally based on IP (internet protocol) connection, no matter that the physical wireline transmission is based on ATM (asynchronous transfer mode), Frame-Relay, Fiber Optical or other mediums. In such case, the wireline connection is based on “IP over such broadband high-speed wireline mediums”. Because the wireline link is of very high-speed broadband transmission (up to hundreds of Gb/s to Tb/s), we assume the wireline transmission bandwidth is up to unlimited. Hence, we can simply call the wireline connection as IP connection.

However, for wireless transmission limited by the available radio spectrum, the wireless transmission bandwidth is far from “unlimited”, and therefore it requires to specify the underlying physical transmission medium in order to support the IP connection. In general, wireless radio transmission is based on circuit-switched (instead of packet-switched) transmission mode, especially for the cellular mobile communications with fast-fading propagation model. Therefore, for general radio transmission technologies (RTTs) and by default, the wireless link is non-IP connection. For example, the cellular CDMA and TDMA mobile communications with fast-fading seamless mobile radio propagation model, the wireless transmission link is a non-IP connection. However, for some non-seamless mobile and short range wireless access networks, because the radio propagation model is slow-fading and the radio transmission environment is very stable, the packet-division (or packet switched) connection becomes possible over the slow-fading and stable circuit-switched transmission medium of the underlying physical layer. Such slow-fading and stable RTTs include the non-mobile WLAN, WPAN, BWA and the slow-mobile BWA and Cellular mobile networks. In order to support the mobile Internet services, by default, the WLAN, WPAN and BWA can support IP connection. For cellular mobile networks, IP connection is possible if the radio propagation model is slow-fading, mobile speed is low and/or the transmission environment is stable, otherwise, the cellular radio link remains the circuit-switched non-IP connection. So, for wireless communications by default, we have IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA and IP over Cellular Mobile as well as non-IP Cellular Mobile, but not limited thereto.

The aforementioned mobile terminal is a converged open-architecture terminal supporting wireline network, WLAN, WPAN, BWA and cellular mobile network, as set for the above, but not limited thereto.

The invention of this OWA mobile cloud infrastructure includes the following main parts:

First, the OWA mobile cloud infrastructure of the present invention comprises the capability that the mobile terminal can access plurality of and many of wireless air interfaces (or called radio transmission technologies—RTTs) based on the OWA converged wireless network access architecture. Such RTTs include Wireless LAN (WLAN) technology, Wireless PAN (WPAN) technology, Wireless MAN technology (or called BWA technology) and Cellular Mobile network technology, but not limited thereto.

Based on WEI LU's discovery (known as LU's LAW) that “No single Radio Transmission Technology (RTT) can provide both Broadband High-speed Transmission and Seamless Mobility in a commercial environment”, the future mobile wireless communications will be converging multiple RTTs in an open wireless architecture (OWA) platform. The future mobile terminal is therefore to integrate and converge multiple RTTs in the order of WLAN, WPAN, BWA and cellular mobile for the cost-effective and spectrum-efficient purpose.

On the horizontal dimension of same RTT, multiple wireless networks of same RTT may be available for the mobile terminal, and so, selection criteria are required to access such multiple wireless networks. For WLAN, WPAN and BWA, Best-of-Efforts (BoE) based on signal strength, network performance and transmission bandwidth are normally considered to select the right network and optimize the network access, but not limited thereto, because such wireless access is mostly complimentary or with low fee.

Traditionally the criterion to select cellular mobile networks (carriers) was based on rates, but it will have tremendous change in the future. The future mobile wireless communications will be converging multiple wireless technologies and converging multiple service delivery platforms in supporting truly service-oriented mobile communications rather than the traditional transmission-specific mobile networks. Therefore, the mobile users will care much more about the Best-of-Efforts (BoE), Simplicity of Use, Network Convergence, Inter-Networking QoS (quality of service) and Customer Service, etc instead of just rates. As many experts had expected that, in the future, the wireless access cost will be free or of low cost for most of mobile wireless networks, and the new business model will be shifting from the traditional carrier centric to the user-centric service delivery architecture. In such case, the traditional carrier rate will not make any sense for the future mobile users.

Another trend for future mobile users is to make the mobile terminal as simple as possible, mostly on low power consumption, simple system and transmission architecture, as well as convenient personal communication experience, etc. In order to construct such a simple system and transmission terminal, a new Mobile Cloud architecture has been disclosed to move the processing tasks (applications, signals and networks) from the mobile terminal to the mobile cloud server called Virtual Mobile Server whenever the IP connection is established and synchronized between the mobile terminal and the virtual mobile server. Such virtual mobile server can support plurality of and many of mobile terminals in a centralized server center, data center or any network center with IP connection, but not limited thereto.

Such user-centric mobile cloud architecture (instead of the traditional carrier-centric) introduces the aforementioned Virtual Mobile Server and the Virtual Register and Call Switch (VR/CS), wherein both of them synchronize each other through IP connection or any PDM (Packet Division Multiplexed) connection. The aforementioned VR/CS manages, selects and switches the optimal cellular mobile networks for the mobile terminal of the mobile user based on the selection criteria as set forth above. By introducing the aforementioned VR/CS, we do not need to change anything in the existing mobile or wireless network infrastructures, including any cellular mobile networks and other wireless networks.

The VR/CS and Virtual Mobile Server, as set forth above, synchronize each other through wireline IP or PDM connection, or these two systems can integrate into the same system or same center subject to different network infrastructure or different service environment. Further, both of them can support many mobile terminals and many mobile users wherein, many mobile users and many mobile terminals can share the same VR/CS and Virtual Mobile Server, as set forth above.

The aforementioned mobile terminal synchronizes with the aforementioned Virtual Mobile Server, further synchronizing with the aforementioned VR/CS whenever an IP connection is available for the aforementioned mobile terminal. Such IP connection includes IP over wireline network, IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA and IP over Cellular mobile network, but not limited thereto.

The aforementioned VR/CS also manages the user-centric mobile user registrations comprising the mobile user identifier (ID) unifying and integrating mobile user personal communication identifier (ID), mobile user personal identifier (ID), mobile telephone number, mobile user domain address, mobile security identifier (or called Mobile DNA), or any identifier (ID) which the mobile user prefers, but not limited thereto. Based on the aforementioned and further below-mentioned mobile cloud infrastructure, the future wireless and wireline networks will be totally converged and integrated into an open architecture service delivery platform wherein ONE device, ONE number supporting multiple networks will become reality. Such user-centric communication registration (rather than the traditional carrier-centric closed telephone number registration) will enable truly user-preferable and truly service-oriented PERSONAL Communication architecture for the open convergence of multiple networks, both wireline and wireless networks. The aforementioned various mobile user registration identifiers are generally referred to the user-centric “Mobile User ID” by default in the present invention, but not limited thereto.

The aforementioned user-centric Mobile User ID managed in the aforementioned VR/CS is a very user-friendly communication ID, independent to the specific wireless or wireline networks, wherein, the specific transmission address in the specific networks may be mapped, encoded or calculated from the aforementioned Mobile User ID, but fully separated and independent from the mobile users. Therefore, the mobile users do not have to change the aforementioned Mobile User ID across various different networks including both wireline and wireless networks, in the future service-oriented network convergence infrastructure.

The aforementioned VR/CS can be implemented by general network equipment, such as gateway, switch, router, server, but no limited thereto, as long as IP or PDM connection is established. Such IP or PDM can be over any wireline mediums including ATM (asynchronous transfer mode), Frame Relay and Fiber Optical, but not limited thereto.

The aforementioned VR/CS manages the switching of various calls including voice, data, video and messages, but not limited thereto. For the aforementioned network selection to the multiple cellular mobile networks (carriers), the aforementioned VR/CS negotiates with such multiple cellular mobile networks based on the criteria as set forth above.

The aforementioned mobile terminal by Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) may connect to the networks (wireline networks or wireless networks) either through IP/PDM connection (IP over wireline network, IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA or IP over Cellular mobile network) or through Non-IP cellular mobile network.

Second, the OWA mobile cloud infrastructure of the present invention incorporates an OWA mobile terminal integrating the WLAN technology, WPAN technology, Wireless MAN technology (or called BWA technology) and Wireline Internet Access technology with the common air interfaces mobile cellular communication standards (for example, cdma2000, WCDMA, GSM, GPRS, TD-SCDMA, OFDM, WiMax, etc, but not limited thereto) through the Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) platform of the present invention. OWA defines the open interface for each subsystem and function unit so that the system is open for upgrade and reconfiguration. The method of present invention supports any short range wireless access technologies including Wireless LAN, Wireless MAN and Wireless PAN, but not limited thereto. Also, as utilized hereinafter the term “common air interface mobile standards” refers to any type of mobile cellular technology operable in the fashion of “TDMA (time division multiplex access) or CDMA (code division multiplex access) or OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplex)”, but not limited thereto.

It is well known to the ordinary skills in the art by the time of this invention that, the wireline communication is normally based on IP (internet protocol) connection, no matter that the physical wireline transmission is based on ATM (asynchronous transfer mode), Frame-Relay, Fiber Optical or other mediums. In such case, the wireline connection is based on “IP over such broadband high-speed wireline mediums”. Because the wireline link is of very high-speed broadband transmission (up to hundreds of Gb/s to Tb/s), we assume the wireline transmission bandwidth is up to unlimited. Hence, we can simply call the wireline connection as IP connection.

However, for wireless transmission limited by the available radio spectrum, the wireless transmission bandwidth is far from “unlimited”, and therefore it requires to specify the underlying physical transmission medium in order to support the IP connection. In general, wireless radio transmission is based on circuit-switched (instead of packet-switched) transmission mode, especially for the cellular mobile communications with fast-fading propagation model. Therefore, for general radio transmission technologies (RTTs) and by default, the wireless link is non-IP connection. For example, the cellular CDMA and TDMA mobile communications with fast-fading seamless mobile radio propagation model, the wireless transmission link is a non-IP connection. However, for some non-seamless mobile and short range wireless access networks, because the radio propagation model is slow-fading and the radio transmission environment is very stable, the packet-division (or packet switched) connection becomes possible over the slow-fading and stable circuit-switched transmission medium of the underlying physical layer. Such slow-fading and stable RTTs include the non-mobile WLAN, WPAN, BWA and the slow-mobile BWA and Cellular mobile networks. In order to support the mobile Internet services, by default, the WLAN, WPAN and BWA can support IP connection. For cellular mobile networks, IP connection is possible if the radio propagation model is slow-fading, mobile speed is low and/or the transmission environment is stable, otherwise, the cellular radio link remains the circuit-switched non-IP connection. So, for wireless communications by default, we have IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA and IP over Cellular Mobile as well as non-IP over Cellular Mobile, but not limited thereto.

Third, the OWA mobile terminal of the present invention supports multiple standards of both wireless and wireline communications wherein Software Defined Module (SDM) is used to install or update the different communication standards module. This SDM can be stored in an External Card, for example, flash memory card, SIM (smart integrated memory) card, or downloadable from the Internet. The External Card of the SDM may also contain independent processor, DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or other components in addition to memory unit to facilitate additional system processing.

Fourth, the OWA mobile terminal of the present invention incorporates automatic network access capabilities, wherein the mobile terminal system searches the available network access in the order of wired network, Wireless LAN, Wireless PAN, BWA (broadband wireless access), mobile cellular network for example, but not limited thereto. The search order can be updated or managed by the user. When the wired network is detected, this mobile terminal becomes the wireline terminal and the communication is established by IP connection including IP data, IP video and VoIP for voice, etc. If wired network is not available, and Wireless LAN is detected, this mobile terminal becomes the Wireless LAN terminal and the communication is established by IP connection too. Wireless LAN access is regarded as the wireless extension of the wireline network access in the local short range domain. If both wired network and Wireless LAN are not available, the mobile terminal system of the present invention will search other short range wireless access networks including Wireless PAN, etc, or search broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (Wireless MAN) or called Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) for wireless IP connection. In the event that all these networks are not detected, the mobile terminal will switch back to the cellular mobile mode wherein cellular mobile air interface standards (for example, GSM/GPRS, cdma2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, etc, but not limited to) will be employed based on the mobile preference list set by the user.

The cellular mobile networks include IP connection for slow-mobile, slow-fading and/or stable radio transmission environment, and non-IP traditional circuit-switched connection if the mobile speed is too fast or the propagation model is of fast-fading.

The mobile cellular air-interface modules supported in the mobile terminal of the present invention can be stored in the terminal itself, or in the External Card or its software and parameters downloaded from the Internet in the form of the aforementioned SDM. The mobile terminal associated with the OWA mobile cloud of the present invention is therefore capable of being operative in an open wireless and wireline communication environment supporting various standards and interfaces.

Fifth, the OWA mobile terminal of present invention incorporates a new incoming Call Processing Management capability in the Virtual Register and Call Switch (VR/CS), wherein the incoming mobile calls (including Voice, data, Video and Message calls) associated with the called mobile phone number or called mobile user identifier (mobile user ID) are queued for further connecting to the destination mobile terminal based on the Connection Table containing the current network access status of the destination mobile terminal as set forth above. If this destination mobile terminal connects to the wired Internet network (first priority for example) or Wireless LAN or Wireless PAN or Wireless MAN (or called BWA), the aforementioned incoming call is forwarded to the destination mobile terminal directly through IP connection by IP-calling from the VR/CS to the destination mobile terminal as set forth above, wherein the Visitor IP address reported by the destination mobile terminal is dialed. If the destination mobile terminal, as set forth above, does not connect to either the wired network or the wireless LAN or the wireless PAN or the wireless MAN, but connects to the cellular mobile network (for example, TDMA or CDMA or mobile OFDM), the aforementioned incoming call is forwarded to the associated Base Station wherein the communication with the destination mobile terminal is over the wireless cellular air link (through allocated mobile cellular transmission channel) of available mobile cellular standards. Based on the radio propagation model (fast-fading or slow-fading), terminal mobile speed (fast seamless mobile or slow mobile) and radio transmission environment (stable or unstable), the aforementioned cellular mobile communication link can be either IP connection or non-IP connection.

Based on different underlying physical transmission mediums, the IP connection of the aforementioned mobile terminal can be IP over wireline, IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA or IP over Cellular Mobile, but not limited thereto.

In case the destination mobile terminal, as set forth above, is not able to access any above available networks, the VR/CS then forward the aforementioned incoming call to a main computer Server, in main server center or data center, which is configured as a Virtual Mobile Server called Mobile Cloud Server through IP connection, as will be described within the context of the present invention.

To simplify the system implementation and maximize the system performance of the aforementioned mobile terminal, in case the incoming call is a rich-application call (consuming much transmission bandwidth and processing resources) such as video call or large file call, etc, but the stable and high-speed IP connection is not available, the aforementioned mobile terminal may request the aforementioned VR/CS to reroute the aforementioned incoming call to the aforementioned virtual mobile server without connecting this incoming call to the aforementioned mobile terminal to save both wireless system and wireless transmission resources.

The aforementioned IP connection applied to all of the Packet Division Multiplex (PDM) networks in supporting packet-switched transmissions. By default in the present invention, PDM refers to IP or other packet-switched connections.

When multiple cellular networks are available for the aforementioned mobile terminal to select the optimal cellular mobile link(s), either in IP connection or in non-IP connection, the selection method of cellular networks is based on the overall rating of Best-of-Effort, Simplicity and Convergence, Inter-networking QoS (quality of service), Network Performance, Cost Effectiveness and Customer Services for each mobile user, but not limited thereto. Such network selection table is maintained in the Network Access Optimizer of the aforementioned VR/CS, synchronized with the virtual mobile server, as set forth above.

Whenever an IP connection is available, the aforementioned mobile terminal synchronizes with the virtual mobile server in a real-time and optimized manner.

The synchronized IP or PDM link between the mobile terminal and the virtual mobile server, as set forth above, include IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA and IP over Cellular Mobile network, but not limited thereto.

The aforementioned WLAN may include WiFi network, wireless local loop, IEEE802.11 network and HyperLAN, but not limited thereto. The aforementioned WPAN may include Bluetooth network, ZigBee network, UWB (ultra wideband wireless) network and IEEE802.15 network, but not limited thereto. The aforementioned BWA may include WiMax network, spectrum-spreading wireless network, wireless ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) network and IEEE802.16 network, but not limited thereto. The aforementioned cellular mobile network may include CDMA, TDMA and OFDM, as set forth above, but not limited thereto.

The aforementioned Virtual Mobile Server(s) supporting group or many of aforementioned mobile terminals can locate in the computer servers' center or in the network data center.

Eighth, the OWA mobile terminal of the present invention supports open interface between the main functional units of the mobile terminal and the RF/IF (radio frequency/intermediate frequency) subsystem so that the mobile terminal RF/IF part is portable and reconfigurable. In other words, mobile users can change or replace the RF/IF ports subject to multiple different RTTs but without having to change the aforementioned mobile terminal device. This method of the present invention is necessary when the different wireless standards run in different frequency bands which are not within same RF/IF transceiver limit. This open and portable RF/IF architecture of the present invention is also very important to support new wireless transceiver technologies including smart antennas, MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output), High efficiency power amplifiers, Improved RF modules allowing multiple operating frequencies and improved receiver sensitivity, etc.

Ninth, the system and method of present invention introduces a new innovative solution to converge and integrate the various communication devices into one open platform, wherein the conventional home phone, office phone and cellular phone, etc are combined together into an integrated and converged terminal, as set forth above, with one single communication number. Furthermore, the aforementioned common terminal of the present invention utilizes the existing or any future communication standards (including both wireless and wireline standards by changing or replacing the aforementioned SDM card) rather than relying on new defined transmission technologies. Specifically, as described within the context of the present invention, the aforementioned common terminal is just an improvement of the existing communication device, wherein this common terminal, as set forth above, is operable in each individual communication standard and backwards compatible to the same individual transmission technology.

Lastly, the system and method of present invention comprises the best and optimal utilization of the existing communication infrastructure, wherein almost all existing telecommunication equipments, including Mobile Switching Center, Base Station, Gateway and Router, and backbone networks, but not limited thereto, remain unchanged and fully operable.

More specifically, the system of the present invention provides the capability of the true Personal Communications, wherein one single mobile terminal with one single mobile number or mobile identifier manages all personal communications needs everywhere and anytime.

The invention of the classified relation networking optimization platform in OWA mobile cloud terminal includes the following main parts:

After the underlying wireless connection is optimized based on QoW (Quality of Wireless connection), and the access to the mobile cloud server is secured, the mobile terminal can classify the networking needs into business networking, personal networking and social networking supporting different services including video, web and text/message. A classified relation networking optimization platform by OWA mobile cloud comprises OWA OS (operating system) module supporting optimized wireless connection based on QoW (Quality of Wireless connection) and Networking Service OS module supporting best-connected and secured business networking and personal networking, as well as best-connected and un-secured social networking.

The OWA OS module includes OWA Mobile Cloud Client synchronizing with virtual mobile server (as mobile cloud server) and OWA Virtualization Sub-Layer supporting various multiple radio transmission technologies (RTTs) including WLAN, WPAN, BWA and cellular mobile, etc. The Mobile Cloud Client optimizes the mobile terminal device in both wireless transmission and system processing, and provides the best wireless connections (cost, bandwidth and spectrum efficiency) based on QoW (Quality of Wireless connections). The Mobile Cloud client also allocates the processing tasks in the mobile terminal to the virtual mobile server as much as possible by the OWA optimized wireless connections for the mobile terminal.

The Networking Service OS module comprises Mobile Relation Manager scheduling best and optimal services (rich video, rich web and simple text/message) for business networking, personal networking or social networking adaptively controlled by the OWA OS module, and Mobile DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid, simply referring to unique identifier in the present invention) unit encoding/decoding security DNA for business networking and personal networking in an enhanced security measure.

When a high-speed IP connection with required good QoW is available between mobile terminal and virtual mobile server, all of the services including video, web and message will be activated for the business networking, personal networking and social networking. When only non-IP cellular mobile connection is available or slow IP connection is available with poor QoW, the Mobile Relation Manager will limit business networking, personal networking and social networking to the basic services including basic web and text/message only.

The Networking Service OS module provides a truly user-centric relation classification layer (or classification service layer), fully independent to the underlying specific wireless transmissions. In addition, the OWA OS module provides an open access layer totally separating specific wireless RTTs with higher layers including classification service layer and Networking Service OS module, etc.

Above the Classification service layer of the Networking Service OS module is an open Application layer with common networking API (application programming interface) for secured personal and business networking as well as unsecured social networking. The open Application layer can be synchronized to an office or home desktop computer or to a virtual mobile server, as set forth above.

The relation management in Mobile Relation Manager comprises the following control procedures:

Step 1: Check if “IP over Wireless” is available or not. If it is available, it goes to the next step (Step 2), otherwise it enables and limits the mobile terminal to basic services of basic web and message/text only for mobile terminal, and then moves to Step 3. The IP over Wireless includes IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA and IP over Cellular, but not limited thereto. When the IP/Wireless (IP over Wireless) is available, the mobile terminal is synchronized with the mobile cloud server (virtual mobile server). Step 2: Check if QoW (Quality of Wireless connection) is acceptable or not. If it is acceptable, it enables full services of rich video, rich web and message/text for the mobile terminal, and then moves to Step 3, otherwise it enables moderate services of web and message/text only for the mobile terminal, and then moves to Step 3. The QoW check is basically on the combined consideration of cost, bandwidth and spectrum efficiency, wherein a good QoW means a good transmission bandwidth with good cost-effectiveness and spectrum-efficiency, for example, good QoW with IP over WLAN, but not limited thereto. In contrast, a poor QoW means a poor transmission bandwidth, or poor cost-effectiveness though transmission bandwidth could be good, or poor spectrum efficiency, for example, a poor QoW may mean IP over Cellular mobile but costing too much for the mobile services. IP over Cellular includes IP over TDMA, IP over CDMA, IP over OFDM, but not limited thereto. Step 3: Check if Secured Personal Networking and/or Business Networking are requested or not. If it is or they are requested, then check if QoS (quality of service) is acceptable or not, otherwise it goes directly to the unsecured Application layer of general social networking. If QoS is acceptable, it moves to Mobile DNA processing unit, then continues to the secured Application layer of business networking and/or personal networking, otherwise it automatically shuts down the secured networking service including business networking and personal networking because the service quality is too poor to ensure the security performance, then goes directly to the unsecured Application layer of general social networking. The QoS check is based on standard service quality performance including bandwidth, latency or delay, jitter or variation in delay, synchronization, packet loss ratio, packet error ratio, but not limited thereto.

The QoW and QoS controls fully ensure the user-centric relation management of secured business networking and personal networking for the mobile users based on OWA mobile cloud infrastructure.

The module of Tracking and Detecting DNA is utilized to filter out the correct DNA from the received contents. The DNA Match and Authorization module is utilized to check whether it is an authorized DNA or a fake DNA based on authorization algorithm by searching DNA database in the mobile terminal device synchronized with the virtual mobile server. The Personal and Business DNA Decoder is utilized to decode DNA into User Information, Device Information and Content Information.

Third, Content Claim module, to claim and generate the original contents from the received fingerprinted contents by detected and authorized DNA. The original contents include original video, original web and original message/text.

The DNA algorithm is a mathematical function of user information, device information and content information, but can be simplified, reduced, shortened or compressed in different applications, for example, the content information can be omitted in simple applications, but not limited thereto.

The Mobile DNA unit can be simplified, reduced, compressed or reconfigured subject to the adaptive control of the underlying OWA OS module to optimize the whole system performance in wireless connections based on the QoW and in wireless services based on the QoS.

The DNA Match and Authorization module facilitates effective blocking of unnecessary contents including virus, spam, spyware, advertisement from coming to the mobile terminal by matching the detected DNA code with the DNA database to protect security and optimize performance for business networking and personal networking, as set forth above.

Further in conclusion, an Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) mobile cloud terminal with classified relation networking optimization platform of the present invention discloses the following systems:

The present invention of classified relation networking optimization benefits from the revolutionary Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) Mobile Cloud platform which greatly optimizes the networking performance of business networking, personal networking and social networking.

Scaling in wireless communications is in number of connected devices or systems, no longer in number of transistors or chips. Trillions of radios will bring virtualization to a new level of open wireless architecture (OWA).

The future mobile networks will evolve to an User-centric Mobile Cloud infrastructure based on Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) rather than the traditional Carrier-centric mobile cellular infrastructure based on specific radio transmission technology.

Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) converges WLAN, WPAN, BWA and Cellular mobile into one open platform to optimize the wireless transmission and wireless access for the future User-Centric Mobile Device and to balance effectively the overall performance among wireless Broadband High-speed Transmission, Seamless Mobility and Network Capacity.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The present invention relates to a fully user-centric mobile relation management of business networking, personal networking and social networking for mobile terminal device with services adaptively and intelligently optimized by converged wireless connections based on open wireless architecture (OWA) mobile cloud infrastructure. By introducing QoW (Quality of Wireless connection) through OWA Operating System (OS), Mobile Relation Manager can ensure optimally secured business networking and personal networking for mobile users with mobile devices which are truly user-centric instead of carrier-centric.

The present invention also relates to a mobile cloud architecture based on OWA platform wherein the processing tasks of the mobile terminal including base-band signal processing, application processing and networking processing can be allocated to the virtual mobile server which is a computer server with home IP address or assigned roaming IP address by the aforementioned home IP address when an IP connection is set up between the mobile terminal and the virtual mobile server. Such IP connection is established when the mobile terminal connects to a wireline network, a short range wireless access network (for example, Wireless LAN and Wireless PAN, but not limited thereto) or a broadband wireless metropolitan area network (Wireless MAN, for example, Broadband Wireless Access system, but not limited thereto). In this way, the mobile terminal's system complexity can be tremendously reduced, the processing power consumption can be greatly decreased and the system performance is maximized accordingly.

An OWA mobile cloud infrastructure of the present invention comprises the capability that the mobile terminal can access plurality of and many of wireless air interfaces (or called radio transmission technologies—RTTs) based on the OWA converged wireless network access architecture. Such RTTs include Wireless LAN (WLAN) technology, Wireless PAN (WPAN) technology, Wireless MAN technology (or called BWA technology) and Cellular Mobile network technology, but not limited thereto.

Based on WEI LU's discovery that “No single Radio Transmission Technology (RTT) can provide both Broadband High-speed Transmission and Seamless Mobility in a commercial environment”, the future mobile wireless communications will be converging multiple RTTs in an open wireless architecture (OWA) platform. The future mobile terminal is therefore to integrate and converge multiple RTTs in the order of WLAN, WPAN, BWA and cellular mobile for the cost-effective and spectrum-efficient purpose.

On the horizontal dimension of same RTT, multiple wireless networks of same RTT may be available for the mobile terminal, and so, selection criteria are required to access such multiple wireless networks. For WLAN, WPAN and BWA, Best-of-Efforts (BoE) based on signal strength, network performance and transmission bandwidth are normally considered to select the right network and optimize the network access, but not limited thereto, because such wireless access is mostly complimentary or with low fee.

Traditionally the criteria to select cellular mobile networks (carriers) was based on rates, but it will have tremendous change in the future. The future mobile wireless communications will be converging multiple wireless technologies and converging multiple service delivery platforms in supporting truly service-oriented mobile communications rather than the traditional transmission-specific mobile networks. Therefore, the mobile users will care much more about the Best-of-Efforts (BoE), Simplicity of Use, Network Convergence, Inter-Networking QoS (quality of service) and Customer Service, etc instead of just rates. As many experts had expected that, in the future, the wireless access cost will be free or of low cost for most of mobile wireless networks, and the new business model will be shifting from the traditional carrier centric to the user-centric service delivery architecture. In such case, the traditional carrier rate will not make any sense for the future mobile users.

Another trend for future mobile users is to make the mobile terminal as simple as possible, mostly on low power consumption, simple system and transmission architecture, as well as convenient personal communication experience, etc. In order to construct such a simple system and transmission terminal, a new Mobile Cloud architecture has been disclosed to move the processing tasks (applications, signals and networks) from the mobile terminal to the mobile cloud server called Virtual Mobile Server whenever the IP connection is established and synchronized between the mobile terminal and the virtual mobile server. Such virtual mobile server can support plurality of and many of mobile terminals in a centralized server center, data center or any network center with IP connection, but not limited thereto.

After the underlying wireless connection is optimized, and the access to the mobile cloud server is secured, the mobile terminal can classify the networking service needs into business networking, personal networking and general social networking supporting different services including video, web and text/message. FIG. 1 shows a classified relation networking optimization platform by OWA mobile cloud which comprises OWA OS (operating system) module supporting optimized wireless connection based on QoW (Quality of Wireless connection) and Networking Service OS module supporting best-connected and secured business networking and personal networking, as well as best-connected and un-secured social networking.

The aforementioned OWA OS module includes OWA Mobile Cloud Client synchronizing with virtual mobile server (as mobile cloud server) and OWA Virtualization Sub-Layer supporting various multiple radio transmission technologies (RTTs) including WLAN, WPAN, BWA and cellular mobile, as set forth above. The aforementioned Mobile Cloud Client optimizes the mobile terminal device in both wireless transmission and system processing, and provides the best wireless connections (cost, bandwidth and spectrum efficiency) based on QoW (Quality of Wireless connections). The aforementioned Mobile Cloud client also allocates the processing tasks in the aforementioned mobile terminal to the aforementioned virtual mobile server as much as possible by the OWA optimized wireless connections for the aforementioned mobile terminal.

The aforementioned Networking Service OS module comprises Mobile Relation Manager scheduling best and optimal services (rich video, rich web and simple text/message) for business networking, personal networking or social networking adaptively controlled by the aforementioned OWA OS module, and Mobile DNA unit encoding/decoding security DNA for the aforementioned business networking and personal networking.

When a high-speed IP connection with required good QoW is available between mobile terminal and virtual mobile server, as set forth above, all of the services including the aforementioned video, web and message will be activated for the aforementioned business networking, personal networking and social networking. When only non-IP cellular mobile connection is available or slow IP connection is available with poor QoW, the aforementioned Mobile Relation Manager will limit the aforementioned business networking, personal networking and social networking to the basic services including basic web and text/message only.

The aforementioned Networking Service OS module provides a truly user-centric relation classification service layer, fully independent to the underlying specific wireless transmissions. In addition, the aforementioned OWA OS module provides an open access layer totally separating specific wireless RTTs with higher layers including classification service layer and Networking Service OS module, as set forth above.

The aforementioned QoW is automatically updated and/or optimized by the optimized wireless connections of mobile terminal in the preset automatic connection optimization order, from highest to lowest, of WLAN, WPAN, BWA and cellular mobile, as set forth above, but the automatic connection optimization order can be reset or changed by mobile user, and the updated QoW adaptively synchronizes with the Mobile Relation Manager and the Mobile DNA unit in the Networking Service OS module to optimize networking and service performance of business networking, personal networking and social networking, as set forth above.

Above the aforementioned Classification service layer of the Networking Service OS module is an open Application layer with common networking API (application programming interface) for secured personal and business networking as well as un-secured social networking. The aforementioned open Application layer can be synchronized to an office/home desktop computer or to a virtual mobile server, as set forth above.

FIG. 2 discloses the implemental flowchart of the aforementioned Mobile Relation Manager. The relation management comprises the following control protocols:

Step 1: Check if “IP over Wireless” is available or not. If it is available, it goes to the next step (Step 2), otherwise it enables and limits to basic services of basic web and message/text only for mobile terminal, and then moves to Step 3. The aforementioned IP over Wireless includes IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA and IP over Cellular, as set forth above, but not limited thereto. When the aforementioned IP/Wireless (IP over Wireless) is available, the mobile terminal is synchronized with the mobile cloud server (virtual mobile server), as set forth above. Step 2: Check if QoW (Quality of Wireless connection) is acceptable or not. If it is acceptable, it enables full services of rich video, rich web and message/text for the mobile terminal, and then moves to Step 3, otherwise it enables moderate services of web and message/text only for the mobile terminal, and then moves to Step 3. The aforementioned QoW check is basically on the combined consideration of cost, bandwidth and spectrum efficiency, wherein a good QoW means a good transmission bandwidth with good cost-effectiveness and spectrum-efficiency, for example, good QoW with the aforementioned IP over WLAN, but not limited thereto. In contrast, a poor QoW means a poor transmission bandwidth, or poor cost-effectiveness though transmission bandwidth could be good, or poor spectrum efficiency, for example, a poor QoW may mean IP over Cellular mobile but costing too much for the mobile services. The aforementioned IP over Cellular includes IP over TDMA, IP over CDMA, IP over OFDM, but not limited thereto. Step 3: Check if Secured Personal Networking and/or Business Networking are requested or not. If it is or they are requested, then check if QoS (quality of service) is acceptable or not, otherwise it goes directly to the unsecured Application layer of general social networking. If the aforementioned QoS is acceptable, it moves to Mobile DNA processing unit, then continues to the secured Application layer of business networking and/or personal networking, otherwise it automatically shuts down the secured networking service including business networking and personal networking because the service quality is too poor to ensure the security performance, then goes directly to the unsecured Application layer of general social networking. The aforementioned QoS check is based on standard service quality performance including bandwidth, latency or delay, jitter or variation in delay, synchronization, packet loss ratio, packet error ratio, but not limited thereto.

The aforementioned QoW and QoS controls fully ensure the user-centric relation management of secured business networking and personal networking for the mobile users based on OWA mobile cloud infrastructure.

The aforementioned Mobile DNA unit can be simplified, reduced, compressed or reconfigured subject to the adaptive control of the underlying OWA OS module, as set forth above, to optimize the whole system performance in wireless connections based on the aforementioned QoW and in wireless services based on the aforementioned QoS.

Such user-centric mobile cloud architecture (instead of the traditional carrier-centric) for the OWA mobile terminal as shown in FIG. 4, introduces the aforementioned Virtual Mobile Server and a Virtual Register and Call Switch (VR/CS), wherein both of them synchronize each other through IP connection or any PDM (Packet Division Multiplexed) connection. The aforementioned VR/CS manages, selects and switches the optimal cellular mobile networks for the mobile terminal of the mobile user based on the selection criteria as set forth above. By introducing the aforementioned VR/CS, we do not need to change anything in the existing mobile or wireless network infrastructures, including any cellular mobile networks and other wireless networks.

The VR/CS and Virtual Mobile Server, as set forth above, synchronize each other through wireline IP or PDM connection, or these two systems can integrate into the same system or same center subject to different network infrastructure or different service environment. Further, both of them can support many mobile terminals and many mobile users wherein, many mobile users and many mobile terminals can share the same VR/CS and Virtual Mobile Server, as set forth above.

The aforementioned mobile terminal synchronizes with the aforementioned Virtual Mobile Server, further synchronizing with the aforementioned VR/CS whenever an IP connection is available for the aforementioned mobile terminal. Such IP connection includes IP over wireline network, IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA and IP over Cellular mobile network, but not limited thereto.

The aforementioned VR/CS also manages the user-centric mobile user registrations comprising the mobile user identifier (ID) unifying and integrating mobile user personal communication identifier (ID), mobile user personal identifier (ID), mobile telephone number, mobile user domain address, mobile security identifier (or called Mobile DNA), or any identifier (ID) which the mobile user prefers, but not limited thereto. Based on the aforementioned and further below-mentioned mobile cloud infrastructure, the future wireless and wireline networks will be totally converged and integrated into an open architecture service delivery platform wherein ONE device, ONE number supporting multiple networks will become reality. Such user-centric communication registration (rather than the traditional carrier-centric closed telephone number registration) will enable truly user-preferable and truly service-oriented PERSONAL Communication architecture for the open convergence of multiple networks, both wireline and wireless networks. The aforementioned various mobile user registration identifiers are generally referred to the user-centric “Mobile User ID” by default in the present invention, but not limited thereto.

The aforementioned user-centric Mobile User ID managed in the aforementioned VR/CS is a very user-friendly communication ID, independent to the specific wireless or wireline networks, wherein, the specific transmission address in the specific networks may be mapped, encoded or calculated from the aforementioned Mobile User ID, but fully separated and independent from the mobile users. Therefore, the mobile users do not have to change the aforementioned Mobile User ID across various different networks including both wireline and wireless networks, in the future service-oriented network convergence infrastructure.

The aforementioned VR/CS manages the switching of various calls including voice, data, video and messages, but not limited thereto. For the aforementioned network selection to the multiple cellular mobile networks (carriers), the aforementioned VR/CS negotiates with such multiple cellular mobile networks based on the criteria as set forth above.

The aforementioned multiple cellular mobile networks can converge or merge into a unified cellular mobile network to optimize the open mobile cloud infrastructure.

The aforementioned mobile terminal by Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) may connect to the networks (wireline networks or wireless networks) either through IP/PDM connection (IP over wireline network, IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA or IP over Cellular mobile network) or through Non-IP cellular mobile network.

The Virtual Mobile Server and the VR/CS, as set forth above, connect to the backbone Internet through IP or PDM connection, and the aforementioned mobile terminal becomes the mobile cloud client once connected and synchronized with the aforementioned virtual mobile server through IP or PDM connection. All wireless networks disclosed in FIG. 1 connect to the backbone Internet through IP or PDM connections.

The aforementioned mobile terminal can be any wireless or mobile terminal equipment of mobile Internet, Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems, Ubiquitous networks, Sensor networks, but not limited thereto.

FIG. 5 shows the incoming Mobile Call Processing Management in the Virtual Register and Call Switch (VR/CS), associated with the mobile terminal of the present invention, wherein the key control procedures are:

Firstly, the aforementioned VR/CS checks whether the mobile terminal has requested VR/CS to reroute its incoming call (voice, data, video or message call) to the virtual mobile server (main server(s) with Internet connection of home IP address(s)), as set forth above, without connecting to the mobile terminal. This request is necessary when the mobile terminal does not have a high-speed IP connection, but the incoming call contains large big file or long video file, etc, or when the mobile terminal is busy and does not want to accept new calls consuming too much wireless bandwidth or system resources, etc. If no such rerouting request is received in the aforementioned VR/CS, then it proceeds to the next step.

The Connection Table (Conn_Table) is frequently updated by the mobile terminal, synchronized with the aforementioned virtual mobile server, as set forth above, through specific network connections, wherein “Visitor IP address” is reported in case of wired network connection or short range wireless access connection (for example, WLAN or WPAN) or broadband wireless access network connection based on IP connection as well as in some situations, the cellular mobile networks in slow mobile, slow fading and/or stable radio transmission environment wherein IP over cellular mobile is possible. If there are no such IP connections available with the aforementioned mobile terminal, the VR/CS, as set forth above, together with associated mobile switching center (or gateway) and base station, communicates with this mobile terminal over the cellular mobile networks, for example, CDMA networks, TDMA networks or OFDM networks, but not limited thereto, wherein the specific cellular air-link channel address is reported to the aforementioned Connection Table.

When the aforementioned mobile terminal reports the aforementioned Visitor IP address to the aforementioned VR/CS and further synchronize with the aforementioned VMS, the global equipment identifier (ID) (such as global mobile phone ID or global mobile device ID, etc) of the aforementioned mobile terminal is thereby reported to the aforementioned VMS to link to the aforementioned Visitor IP address in order to trace the aforementioned mobile terminal in different IP networks of the aforementioned IP connection. This is very useful to trace the terminal equipment when the aforementioned mobile terminal gets lost, stolen or unauthorized use, but not limited thereto.

When an incoming mobile call (including voice, data, video and message call) is received and there is no rerouting request (rerouting to virtual mobile server) from the mobile terminal, the aforementioned VR/CS searches the Connection Table associated with the called mobile terminal (or the destination mobile terminal in this case) of the present invention. If a Visitor IP address is found, the VR/CS dials or re-synchronizes this IP address, through IP Call Switch in VR/CS (or other IP system in different infrastructure), to establish the IP connection accordingly. If this Visitor IP address is not available, and the regular cellular mobile link address (for example, CDMA, TDMA or OFDM channel address) is found and associated with the called destination mobile terminal number, the VR/CS switches to the associated cellular network and connects the associated mobile switching center (or gateway) and base station to establish the communication with the destination mobile terminal, as set forth above, over the cellular mobile air link. This cellular mobile channel can be either static channel or dynamically assigned channel to optimize the wireless spectrum utilization.

Based on the radio propagation model (fast-fading or slow-fading), terminal mobile speed (fast seamless mobile or slow mobile) and radio transmission environment (stable or unstable), the aforementioned cellular mobile communication link can be either IP connection or non-IP connection.

However, it is emphasized that the OWA mobile cloud infrastructure of the present invention utilizes the terms “mobile switching center, mobile gateway, base station, etc”, which in the context of the present invention, is meant to include the aforementioned existing CDMA system, TDMA/GSM system, OFDM system, or any other mobile communication infrastructure utilizing different network topology and/or network architecture with different terms which may or may not have all of the functional characteristics of existing CDMA or TDMA or OFDM standards. As such, the OWA mobile cloud infrastructure of the present invention is not meant to be limited to current mobile cellular communication infrastructure, and the subsequent specific description utilization and explanation of certain characteristics previously recited as being characteristics of a mobile switching center or base station or mobile gateway or mobile router are not intended to be limited to such technology.

If after searching the Connection Table, as set forth above, both Visitor IP address and cellular mobile link address (including CDMA or TDMA or OFDM channel) are not found, the aforementioned VR/CS has to forward the incoming call, over IP connection, to the aforementioned virtual mobile server, wherein a fixed Home IP address is stored in the aforementioned Connection Table.

Therefore, the incoming mobile call processing management in VR/CS (or any Mobile Gateway, Mobile Switch in different terms) of the present invention requires the minimum modification of the existing mobile communication infrastructure.

The aforementioned mobile terminal of the present invention searches for the access networks in the priority order of Wired network, Wireless LAN (WLAN), Wireless PAN (WPAN), Wireless MAN (or called BWA), TDMA, CDMA and OFDM, for example but not limited to, to maximize the wireless spectrum utilization efficiency and broadband services. However, this access control order can be re-defined by the mobile user with the mobile terminal of the present invention. Additionally, the OWA mobile terminal of the present invention has the function to frequently search for the higher priority network access mode whenever the connection is in the low priority mode to optimize the network access control for the mobile terminal of the present invention.

The cellular mobile networks may include IP connection for slow-mobile, slow-fading and/or stable radio transmission environment, and non-IP traditional circuit-switched wireless connection if the mobile speed is too fast or the radio propagation model is of fast-fading.

Based on different underlying physical transmission mediums, the IP connection of the aforementioned mobile terminal can be IP over wireline, IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA or IP over Cellular Mobile, but not limited thereto.

The aforementioned IP connection refers to any connection of the Packet Division Multiplexed (PDM) networks including IP network and other packet-switched networks. By default in the present invention, PDM refers to IP or other packet-switched connections.

When multiple cellular networks are available for the aforementioned mobile terminal to select the optimal cellular mobile link(s), either in IP connection or in non-IP connection, the selection method of cellular networks is based on the overall criteria of Best-of-Effort, Simplicity and Convergence, Inter-networking QoS (quality of service), Network Performance, Cost Effectiveness and Customer Services for each mobile user, but not limited thereto. Such network selection table is maintained in the Network Access Optimizer of the aforementioned VR/CS, synchronized with the virtual mobile server, as set forth above.

Whenever an IP connection is available, the aforementioned mobile terminal synchronizes with the virtual mobile server in a real-time and optimized manner.

The aforementioned IP Connection is selected and optimized by the aforementioned Mobile Terminal in the default priority order of IP over wireline network, IP over WLAN, IP over WPAN, IP over BWA and IP over cellular mobile network, as set forth above, to maximize the wireless spectrum utilization efficiency, but the aforementioned priority order can be changed by the aforementioned mobile user.

The aforementioned IP Connection for the aforementioned mobile terminal can be roamed among IP networks of wireline network, WLAN, WPAN, BWA and cellular mobile network, as set forth above, in the aforementioned priority order when the aforementioned mobile terminal of the aforementioned mobile user moves across different IP networks, as set forth above.

The Call Switch unit in the aforementioned VR/CS manages the IP connecting and Non-IP connecting functions.

The Mobile User Registration in the aforementioned VR/CS includes Mobile User Identifier (ID), Mobile User's Connection Table, Mobile User's Virtual Mobile Sever IP Address.

The aforementioned mobile terminal can connect to other mobile terminals in an Ad-Hoc or Mesh network manner, synchronized by the aforementioned VR/CS and the aforementioned VMS whenever the aforementioned IP connection is available.

The aforementioned mobile terminal can seamlessly roam among WLAN, WPAN, BWA and cellular mobile network, as set forth above, synchronized by the aforementioned VR/CS and the aforementioned VMS whenever the aforementioned IP connection is available.

In summary, the aforementioned Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) Mobile Cloud method comprises:

-   -   a) If the aforementioned Mobile Terminal of the aforementioned         mobile user has an IP (internet protocol) Connection         established, it reports its Visitor IP address to its         corresponding Virtual Register and Call Switch (VR/CS), as set         forth above, and the aforementioned Mobile Terminal can connect         with backbone Internet network and synchronize with its         corresponding Virtual Mobile Server (VMS), as set forth above,         through the aforementioned IP Connection, and     -   b) If the aforementioned Mobile Terminal does not have the         aforementioned IP Connection established, it connects to the         aforementioned VR/CS through specific Non-IP cellular mobile         link selected, optimized and managed by the aforementioned         VR/CS.
